CVE-2023-54382 Overview
CVE-2023-54382 is a rejected CVE identifier. The National Vulnerability Database (NVD) has withdrawn this entry because it was erroneously reserved under the wrong year due to an automation defect. A correct-year CVE identifier supersedes this record.
No vulnerability details, affected products, or exploitation data are associated with CVE-2023-54382. Security teams should not track this identifier in vulnerability management workflows. Consult the replacement CVE assigned under the correct year for accurate technical information and remediation guidance.
Critical Impact
This CVE is rejected and carries no security impact. Use the superseding correct-year CVE identifier for tracking and response.

Technical Details for CVE-2023-54382
Vulnerability Analysis
CVE-2023-54382 does not describe a technical vulnerability. The CVE Numbering Authority (CNA) reserved this identifier under the wrong calendar year through an automation defect in the CVE assignment pipeline. The record was rejected once the error was detected.
Rejected CVE identifiers remain in the NVD catalog for reference integrity. They preserve the identifier space so that downstream tooling, advisory databases, and vulnerability scanners can resolve the ID to a definitive "rejected" state rather than returning an unknown result.
Root Cause
The root cause is procedural rather than technical. An automation defect in the CVE reservation workflow assigned an identifier under the 2023 year prefix when the correct-year prefix was required. The MITRE CVE Program supersedes such records with a correctly-numbered identifier.
Attack Vector
No attack vector applies to CVE-2023-54382. The record contains no vulnerability description, no Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) mapping, no Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) score, and no affected product identifiers. There is nothing to exploit.
Refer to the security advisory that references the correct-year CVE for technical details on the underlying issue, if any.
Detection Methods for CVE-2023-54382
Indicators of Compromise
- No indicators of compromise apply. CVE-2023-54382 is a rejected record with no associated vulnerability, malware, or exploitation activity.
- Vulnerability scanners returning results for this identifier should be updated to reflect the rejected status.
Detection Strategies
- Audit vulnerability management systems and remove CVE-2023-54382 from active tracking lists.
- Cross-reference any advisory citing this identifier against MITRE's CVE List to confirm the superseding identifier.
- Update ticketing and risk-register entries to point to the correct-year CVE.
Monitoring Recommendations
- Monitor CVE feed synchronization jobs for stale rejected identifiers that remain flagged as active.
- Validate that Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) enrichment sources drop rejected CVEs from correlation logic.
- Confirm that patch management dashboards do not raise alerts for rejected CVE identifiers.
How to Mitigate CVE-2023-54382
Immediate Actions Required
- No patching action is required. CVE-2023-54382 does not represent a real vulnerability.
- Identify the superseding correct-year CVE through the MITRE CVE List and apply guidance from that record instead.
- Suppress CVE-2023-54382 in vulnerability scanners and reporting pipelines to prevent noise.
Patch Information
No patch exists or is required for CVE-2023-54382. The record is administratively rejected. Vendors have not issued advisories against this identifier. Security teams should redirect remediation efforts to the correct-year CVE that replaces this entry.
Workarounds
- Filter rejected CVE records from automated risk scoring to avoid false workload on analysts.
- Document the rejection status in internal knowledge bases so responders do not re-open closed tickets.
- Subscribe to the NVD data feeds to receive authoritative status updates on CVE identifiers.
# No configuration change is required for a rejected CVE.
# Example: suppress the identifier in a scanner ignore list.
